Crispy Roast Potatoes

Crispy potatoes are an essential part of your roast dinner and these are simply delicious. They are often requested to accompany other meals too, as an alternative to chips or mash, and there are lots of flavour combinations you can try. Garlic with rosemary or thyme always seem popular here.

Try very gently mashing them with a fork or mash potato masher. They break ever so slightly and this makes them extra crispy. The process is known as 'chuffing'. It also works to par boil them and toss them in a collander for a couple of minutes before popping them in the oven. They get all freyed. Duck fat is a good one too.

While we are on the subject of tips (slightly random maybe but I want to give something back to your wonderful blog) - Definitely worth a plug in my opinion are these guys: claesens.com

Toughest thing in my opinion to find for my 9yr old daughter is good quality underwear that bridges the gap between playfulness and functionality (most brands go to pieces after a few weeks)

Thanks for the good post and check those guys out - especially given the euro at the moment
